In our virtual community, just about everyone we knew was heading off to Blogher in New York City last month. It was all over Twitter, Facebook, and everyone blogged about it. So, we felt a bit strange planning our assault on the Big Apple for the week after BlogHer. We were headed to the New York International Gift Fair, showing our blankets to buyers and media. Of course we also managed to squeeze in a little fun while we were there. (What's that they say about all work and no play making for tired, cranky mompreneurs?) So, in the spirit of all the post-BlogHer blogs - here's our roundup of NYC 2010.
The drive: pulling out of Amy's driveway at 4:15 a.m. - not the most fun. However, emerging out of the Lincoln Tunnel at 1:30 p.m. - priceless.
The hotel: Sheraton at 7th and 53rd. Great hotel - our best in NY so far. Amazingly helpful staff, clean spacious room and steps to 5th Avenue shopping, Times Square and the Park (where Amy makes sure to run every time she's in town).
The show: Wow. Picture about 11 football fields of everything under the sun. Huge and totally overwhelming. Our little corner of it, the Baby & Kids section was perfect. A great collection of kids stuff and the buyers seems to love having an edited collection of products - even if it was in the far corner of the show. We met great stores and media and I even got a bit starstruck when I met a media personality whose career I'd been following for years.
The food: What's the point in heading to a world class city if you're not going to eat like you mean it? We hit Otto - Mario Batali's pizza joint for a great night out with our friends Amit and Obsidian from 3 Sprouts. We also squeezed in a budget conscious prix fixe at Daniel Bouloud's DB Bistro Moderne. And a delicious burger at 5 Napkin Burger with our pal Anne-Sophie from Lumiere. Yum, Yum and Yum.
To combat the effects of the food: We dragged our butts out of bed early for some classes at Physique 57. This is the pilates/yoga/strength regime that gave Kelly Ripa that outrageous body. Our 3 classes didn't Ripa-ify us exactly, but it did leave us with sore behinds and big smiles.
The shopping: 5th Avenue for the experience of it. (Why is the Gap so much better in New York?) Soho for Uniqlo, Top Shop and more. There's never, ever enough time for the shopping.
One of the best things about being in business for ourselves is getting to leave the kids behind for some grown up time to get some work done and have fun with the BFF in the big city. We've been back a few weeks now, but I'll admit it - I'm still in a New York state of mind.
